Whitesnake have released their new music video for “Shut Up & Kiss Me” from their upcoming new album “Flesh & Blood” which will be released on Friday, May 10th.
Queen and Adam Lambert opened up the 91st annual with a performance of “We Will Rock You” and “We Are The Champions.” Queen having a presence at the Oscars makes sense considering the band’s biopic “Bohemian Rhapsody” had five nominations at this year’s award show.
As you can see in the video above, Guitarist Brian May and Drummer Roger Taylor kick into “We Will Rock You” and as the current rises Brian May comes running out, followed by Adam Lambert, who has been singing with the band since 2011.
You can see Brian May smile from ear to ear in joy as he watches Hollywood cheer him on. Towards the end of their performance a large image of former singer Freddie Mercury appears behind the band, a beautiful way to remember the rock and roll icon.
Queen + Adam Lambert will be at the SAP Center in San Jose on Sunday, July 14th.
Congrats to “Bohemian Rhapsody” star Rami Malek for winning best actor last night at the Academy Awards for his portrayal of Freddie Mercury.
Watch Rami Malek’s acceptance speech after he won best actor last night at the Oscars.
Back in October 2018, Baby Huey and Chasta attended the San Francisco premiere of “Bohemian Rhapsody” at the Castro Theatre. Baby Huey and Chasta interviewed the stars of the movie, Rami Malek, Gwilym Lee and Joseph Mazzello on the red carpet, watch the videos below.
Even Mike Myers and Dana Carvey made an appearance at the Oscars.
In Eugene, Oregon, a food truck by the name of Buck Buck Food Cart, which is known for serving fried chicken, exploded into pieces. Luckily, no one was hurt.
In the video below, which was taken from a nearby building’s surveillance cameras, exploded into a huge ball of fire.
The explosion happened before 8am, no injuries happened, though surrounding buildings sustained some damage. Plus, the whole neighborhood heard and felt the massive explosion.
The owner of Buck Buck, Mikey Lawrence, woke up to calls and texts informing him that his food cart exploded.
Fire officials suspect a faulty propane tank was to blame, but no official explanation has been given at this time.
Here is a look at the aftermath from the explosion.

LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-FEB 26, 2019…TODAY THE KEYBOARDIST FOR JOURNEY, JONATHAN CAIN, TURNS 69. BORN JONATHAN FRIGA, HE STARTED PLAYING THE ACCORDION AND BY HIS TEENS WAS PLAYING ACCORDION AND PIANO AT PARTIES. THIS IS CRAZY, AT THE AGE OF 8 HE WAS THE SURVIVOR OF A SCHOOL FIRE THAT KILLED 92 STUDENTS AND 3 NUNS. AFTER GRADUATING HIGH SCHOOL HE ATTENDED THE CHICAGO CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC. IN 1979 CAIN JOINED THE BABYS, AND IN 1980 JOINED JOURNEY, REPLACING GREGG ROLIE ON KEYBOARDS. CAIN’S FIRST EFFORT WITH JOURNEY WAS THE ALBUM ‘ESCAPE’.
HERE’S LIVE JOURNEY WITH CAIN OPENING UP THE BAND’S MOST FAMOUS SONG
LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-FEB 26, 2019…ON THIS DATE IN 1970, THE BEATLES RELEASED THE ALBUM ‘HEY JUDE’. IT WAS ORIGINALLY TITLED “THE BEATLES AGAIN” BUT WAS RENAMED.
THE ALBUM WAS ALSO RELEASED ON THE BEATLES APPLE LABEL. NOW I HAVE TO TELL YOU, THIS STORY SHOWS HOW UPTIGHT AND EFFED UP PEOPLE ARE. THE RECORD COMPANY WANTED TO CHANGE THE ARTWORK ON THE ACTUAL LABEL, BECAUSE A RECORD JOBBER COMPLAINED THAT HE AND HIS RETAIL OUTLETS WOULDN’T DISPLAY OR STOCK THE RECORD BECAUSE THE ACTUAL RECORD LABEL WAS “PORNOGRAPHIC.” HE STATED THE APPLE LOGO OF THE NOW FAMOUS CUT OPEN FRUIT ACTUALLY “DEPICTED A VAGINA”. APPLE STOOD THEIR GROUND, AND THE SINGLE ‘HEY JUDE’ SOLD OVER 8 MILLION COPIES IN THE US. HAHAHA, VAGINA POWER !
THIS IS GOLD, HERE’S THE BEATLES PERFORMING ‘HEY JUDE’ ON BRITISH TV.
LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-FEB 25, 2019…THE ONE TIME MEMBER OF THE BEATLES WOULD HAVE BEEN 76 TODAY. HARRISON WAS NOT ONLY A ONE TIME MEMBER OF THE FAB 4, BUT WHEN THE GROUP BROKE UP, ENJOYED PHENOMENAL SUCCESS AS A SOLO ARTIST. IN 1970, ‘MY SWEET LORD’ WAS A NUMBER ONE HIT WORLDWIDE, AND IN 1971 HIS SOLO ALBUM ‘ALL THINGS MUST PASS’ WAS THE NUMBER ONE ALBUM IN AMERICA. HE WAS ALSO A MEMBER OF THE TRAVELLING WILBURYS WITH TOM PETTY AND BOB DYLAN. HARRISON DIED OF CANCER ON NOVEMBER 29, 2001.
AND, HERE’S THE DEFINITION OF IRONY. ON THIS DATE IN 2015, TO COMMEMORATE HARRISON’S BIRTHDAY, A NEW TREE WAS PLANTED IN HIS MEMORY IN GRIFFITH PARK IN LOS ANGELES. IT WAS PLANTED TO REPLACE THE OTHER COMMEMORATIVE TREE THAT WAS KILLED BY AN INFESTATION OF BEETLES !!! WTF ! THE NEW REPLACEMENT TREE IS A YEW TREE, AND WAS PICKED AS IT’S FAR LESS SUSCEPTIBLE TO INSECTS.
GEORGE HARRISON WAS BORN ON THIS DAY IN 1943. HERE’S SOME SOLO HARRISON AND “WHAT IS LIFE”
LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-FEB 25, 2019…IT WAS 1973 AND ALICE COOPER RELEASED THE ALBUM ‘BILLION DOLLAR BABIES’. THIS WAS THE 6TH STUDIO ALBUM FROM ALICE COOPER, AND , UP TO THAT DATE, IT WAS HIS BEST SELLING ALBUM. ALICE COOPER SAID, THE “WHOLE IDEA BEHIND THE BILLION DOLLAR BABIES ALBUM WAS EXPLOITING THE IDEA THAT PEOPLE DO HAVE SICK PERVERSIONS.”
THE ALBUM’S TITLE COMES FROM THE FACT THAT COOPER AND THE BAND WERE SURPRISED WITH THEIR SUCCESS. ACCORDING TO COOPER 2 YEARS BEFORE THE ALBUM, THE BAND WAS STRUGGLING AND LIVING IN A FRIEND’S BASEMENT. IT BLEW THEIR MIND THAT 2 YEARS LATER, PEOPLE WERE THROWING MONEY AT THEM.
IT WAS ON THE BILLION DOLLAR BABIES TOUR THAT COOPER HIRED A MAGICIAN TO HELP WITH THE EFFECTS OF THE SHOW, AND COOPER WAS DECAPITATED WITH THE GUILLOTINE. CLASSIC COOPER AND FOR THIS REASON ALONE I CONSIDER HIM THE GREATEST SHOWMAN IN ROCK.
HERE’S ALICE IN THE GUILLOTINE
HERE’S A GREAT VIDEO FROM ONE OF THE BIG HITS OF THE ALBUM. THIS ONE HAS LIMOS ,BOOZE, AND ROLLING SKATING CHIMPS ! ALICE COOPER’S ELECTED
LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-FEB 25, 2019…35 YEARS AGO VAN HALEN’S ‘JUMP’ STARTED A 5 WEEK RUN AT NUMBER 1 ON THE SINGLES CHARTS. DAVID LEE ROTH WROTE THE LYRICS TO THE SONG AFTER SEEING A NEWS REPORT ABOUT A MAN WHO WAS THREATENING TO COMMIT SUICIDE BY JUMPING OFF A HIGH BUILDING. ROTH THOUGHT THAT ONE OF THE ONLOOKERS OF SUCH A SCENE WOULD PROBABLY SHOUT “GO AHEAD AND JUMP.”
Sammy Hagar & The Circle have released their new music video for “Trust Fund Baby” from their upcoming new album “Space Between” which will be released on Friday, May 10th.
